Monarch Systems Ltd. is happy to announce the immediate release and availability of a production upgrade to the Int One integrated amplifier from Alluxity. The Int One Mk. II has a US MSRP of $9,500. The Int One has been Alluxity’s best-selling product in North America. The revised Mk. II edition produces 200W into 8 ohms and 400W into 4 ohms and features a completely redesigned balanced preamplifier section and volume control circuitry. The new preamp section is now fully balanced (making the Int One Mk. II fully balanced from input to output) with all of the benefits of balanced technology: lower noise floor, reduced distortion, higher resolution, better bandwidth, and a +6dB increase in gain. Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs are available, with a single pair of RCA outputs for bi-amplification.
“The Int One Mk. II also features an improved volume control with a greater number of volume relays to offer 1dB volume steps with a range from -79dB to +13dB. This allows much better fine-tuning of music playback levels over the original Int One.
All improvements to the Int One Mk. II were achieved without changes to the physical chassis of the original Int One and as a result upgrades to Mk. II versions are possible. Cost increases have also been minimized.
